Dvorak vs Qwerty, Vim vs VSCode, Rust, and Design-By-Contract
What is it like to use the Dvorak keyboard layout? Is it better for programming than the standard Qwerty layout? Join Evan and Thomas as they discuss keyboard layouts along with potential advantages of different keyboard types when it comes to dealing with RSI. The discussion then turns to editors and how they relate to each other including Emacs, Neovim, and VSCode. And then finishing with a discussion on Rust/programming safety and a brief overview of design-by-contract and literate programming. https://twitter.com/_evanwalter_ thereactshow.com/support Join The Reactors! thereactshow.com/the-reactors-community Join our Discord! https://discord.gg/zXYggKUBC2 My book: Foundations of High-Performance React https://www.thereactshow.com/book Consulting: https://thomashintz.org Music by DRKST DWN: https://soundcloud.com/drkstdwn Support the show

How To Build Secure React Apps
In this episode, delve into the world of web application security and discover practical insights to safeguard your code. Join Thomas as they discuss common threats like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and request forgery, emphasizing the importance of using secure libraries and following best practices. Explore topics such as data validation, authentication, and authorization, along with the significance of log security and intrusion detection. Gain valuable tips for writing secure code and understand the risks associated with implementing your own cryptography. thereactshow.com/support Join The Reactors! thereactshow.com/the-reactors-community Join our Discord! https://discord.gg/zXYggKUBC2 My book: Foundations of High-Performance React https://www.thereactshow.com/book Consulting: https://thomashintz.org Music by DRKST DWN: https://soundcloud.com/drkstdwn Part 1: Introduction to Web Application Security In this segment, the host discusses the importance of web application security and the potential risks associated with vulnerabilities. The focus is on common threats such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and request forgery. The host emphasizes the need for understanding and addressing these threats, even when using frameworks like React that offer built-in security measures. Part 2: Log Security and Authentication/Authorization The host highlights the significance of log security and cautions against logging sensitive user information that could be exploited. They stress the importance of implementing secure authentication and authorization systems and share insights on common mistakes made in login system implementation. Keeping the login process simple and separate from other code is strongly recommended to minimize vulnerabilities. Part 3: Data Validation and Libraries/External Services Data validation is discussed, with an emphasis on distinguishing between data sanitization and data validation. The host advises against relying on client-side validation and stresses the importance of validating and sanitizing data on the server-side. They also provide insights on assessing the security of libraries and external services, recommending thorough documentation on secure implementation, policies for handling vulnerabilities, and a high-level security approach. Part 4: Writing Secure Code and Final Tips The host shares their approach to writing secure code, emphasizing the need for systemic solutions, explicit labeling of untrusted data, and assuming worst-case scenarios to design robust security mechanisms. They caution against overcomplicating security measures and advocate for using well-tested libraries for cryptographic functions. The importance of backups, intrusion detection, and minimizing stored data is also highlighted. Support the show
